Outside the entrance gate of the Eternal Sun sect…
Maya, who covered her face, is waving her hand in good-bye to Kent. She reminded him not to forget about the ritual of the poison god in her sect, which is going to happen on this lunar day.
After sending her away, Kent turned around and rushed along the path on his Fire Kirin. While moving on the path, Kent saw several disciples of Burning Sun Peak who were giving him death gestures with mocking looks. Kent just ignored them like trash and moved forward.
As he couldn’t meet the rising sun peak master, Porus, during the day, Kent went back to his residence.
“I really wonder how Fatty is doing. Everything will be great if I win this war and help him raise his rank in the gambling syndicate.” Kent muttered while thinking about his fight, which is just six hours away.
Thinking about the afternoon fight, Kent reached his residence. With a heavy sigh, he opened the room door, solidifying his heart to face the onslaught of three ladies who were going to blame everything on him.
In contrast to his expectations, the three ladies sat on the bed, staring at him emotionally. Kent found that something big happened. Otherwise, they won’t be calm like a tree.
“What happened?” Kent asked while approaching them.
“Amelia’s father called. He said the Supreme Sword Magus of Wizards association collected the purple jade silk required for Amelia’s treatment. He also said that the sword magus is coming here today to personally deliver the purple jade silk to Amelia.” Sophia, who is almost crying with happy tears, replied in a weak tone while holding Amelia’s hand.
A rare smile appeared on Kent’s face as he reached out to Amelia and kissed her on the forehead. “Then, I will prepare everything for your treatment right away.” Kent replied while staring into her eyes.
“No… You prepare for the fight. After you win this war, you can worry about me. Also, I want to watch the fight.” Amelia replied in a pampered tone.
“What?! No, there will be a large crowd, and I can’t bear it if something happens to you. Just wait a few more days.” Kent tried to refute her request.
“You don’t need to worry. We two will take care of Big Sister. Also, I already spent a lot to reserve seats for the fight. One more thing, if I see that dark witch there, I will kill her on the spot.” Sophia replied while gritting her teeth in frustration.
Before Kent tried to shift the topic away from Maya, Luna intervened and asked about the identity of Maya.
“I really wonder why she is carrying poison on her body. Kent, what is your relationship with that lady?” Amalia joined in on the inquiry. Read latest stories on
All three women were staring at Kent, waiting for him to speak. Their doubts increased as Kent took more time to answer about Maya’s identity.
“Don’t think too much. She is my friend. I saved her once from great danger. She came to give me a few things that will help me in today’s fight.” Kent replied while avoiding their scrutinizing gaze. Their gaze turned narrow as they stared at Kent’s face doubtfully.
“Stop looking at me like that. Also, you shouldn’t doubt every woman who comes to see me.” Kent put on a serious face and got down from the bed.
“We are not doubting every woman. That lady came for you late in the night and acted all mysterious with her outfit and actions. I really doubt that long-haired girl is definitely into you. Even though her beauty is not a match for ours, she is somewhat pretty. That’s why we are doubting your relationship with her.” Sophia spoke in a loud tone while observing Kent’s face closely to see his reaction.
But Kent acted calmly and slowly walked away from the bed. “I need to train for today’s fight. You girls do whatever you want.” Kent replied and left the room in a flash from that room.
“You…! I know it. Don’t forget that you need our permission to marry her.” Sophia, who saw Kent’s actions, shouted loudly from the back in a fierce tone.

Moon Brook family residence…
The patriarch of the Moonbrook family came to his son’s room early in the morning. But Larry is still sleeping on the bed with a loud snore.
“Larry… Larry…” The patriarch, who came in excitement to speak with his son, slapped Larry’s back impatiently.
“Why the hell are you still sleeping? The news of Zi Chen fighting with a weak guy is circulating all around the city. I thought you would be busy with all the gambling work. What are you still doing here instead of using this chance to gain fame?” The patriarch slapped him for the second time with a bit of anger.
“Father, it’s just a match. Leave it… it’s not that important. Let me sleep.” Larry spoke in a sleepy tone while turning to the other side to avoid beating by his father.
The patriarch shook his head impatiently. As he was thinking about what to do, suddenly the door opened with a bang, and his wife, Joya, came hurriedly with a worried face.
“What happened?” The patriarch asked with a serious look.
Instead of answering him, Joya reached for her son, Liam, and worked him up forcefully. “Where is Ria?” She asked in a serious tone while pressing Liam’s cheeks with one palm.
But Liam, who is under the effect of drugged wine from last night, murmured something in a drowsy tone without opening his eyes.
“Why are you asking him about Ria? Isn’t she in her room?” The patriarch asked with a questioning look.
“I searched the entire palace. She is nowhere to be found. The gatekeepers said she didn’t come home last night. A servant from Arena brought Liam here last night.
After hearing what she said, the patriarch’s anger rose to new heights. He directly held the color of Liam with both hands and lifted him into the air with a fierce roar.
The patriarch’s entire body is shaking in rage. In all these years, he never forced his son to practice magic or learn fighting, all because of one reason, Ria. He thought of keeping Liam like a clean slate and training him into a fierce fighter once he gained the yang essence from Ria.
If something happens to Ria, his entire plan for his son will go to waste, and the next generation of the Moonbrook family will only become a lackey to someone like Zi Chen.
